What Is The Worst Shipping Charges You Have Seen?

[ Edited ]

I saw a top I really liked on Sundance.

 

The SH were $17.95!!!

 

That SH was a shocker!!!!!

 

I didn't order.  The top wasn't heavy at all.

WM groceery.  11 items in 5 shipments over 5 days.

 

1 bottle of maple syrup and 1 box of rice, each in their own box.

 

I'm done with them.

@ECBG   When I think the shipping is excessive, I move on and find something else to fall in love with.

Absolutely Sundance, 3 years ago I needed a dress to wear to an August wedding. The wedding was outside, needed something light weight, but dressy.

Andreatoo posted a photo of a beautiful blue silk maxi dress, from Sundance.

I looked everywhere , brick and mortar,  could not find anything that compafed.

I paid 12.98 to have a featherweight dress delivered, I should be ashamed but I love dress, it fit beautifully, I'm 5'11, so that says alot.

Worth it, but I've never paid close to that since.

I think the Q ought to shopping cart like items. So in my opinion they have the worst shipping charges.

Since you received your items in boxes, you ordered on .com.  Orders on .com, delivered by Fedex, are $35 minimum to get free delivery.  

 

Since Covid, not all warehouses may be able to ship everything together because of sell-outs, so Walmart looks for items in all warehouse locations throughout the country, the reason why your order came in separate boxes.  If they didn't, they may not be able to send everything customers want.

 

I'm curious, what was your shipping for the 5 boxes? 

 

Walmart would have let you know what your shipping charges were before you submitted the order.  They even tell you to order something else to meet the $35 minimum if your order doesn't add up to that and you don't want to pay shipping.

My story: I bought a trendy wooden chandelier on Amazon. It just didn't fit the space, so I decided to return it right away.

I hadn't noticed that the vendor had the caveat 'buyer pays return shipping'.

It cost me $100 to return it!!

Of course, it depends on weight and size of box.

 

I ordered a lightweight cotton shirt from Dillards that came in a plastic bag.  $12.95.

@ECBG  I stopped ordering from Sundance for the same reason. The shipping charges are astronomical.
